As we round out June, we wanted to give another shout out to The Garden!

For more than 40 years, The Garden has been a cornerstone of Central Iowa’s LGBTQ+ community, creating a welcoming space where everyone belongs. Beyond being a beloved gathering place, they’ve made a lasting impact through advocacy, fundraising, community events, and countless acts of generosity.

We’re grateful for their continued commitment to supporting and strengthening our LGBTQ+ community. Thank you for all you do! 🌈
